May 2025
May is a busy month! We have Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, WEB Night and Wolverines on the Run, please consider volunteering to help us bring these events to our school. We’ve also recently added an extra Family Fun Night in early June – the Reptile Man will be back at Wellington on June 10!
K-2 Kickball games during lunch recess continue. If you’re at school midday, check in at the office and join the fun!
Remember to submit an expense report by May 30 if you have purchased an item for a PTA Event or Program this year. We are developing the budget for the 2025-2026 school year, and funds spent this year will help determine how much funding to allocate to programs for next year. Expense report forms are linked here and are also located in the PTA drawer in the Main Office.
Have some Wellington Spirit Wear you’ve outgrown? Please consider donating it to the Wellington PTA Spirit Wear Swap which will happen in Fall 2025 (next year). The event is still in work but will be an opportunity for families to ‘shop’ and take home previously loved Spirit Wear. More details to come, but until then, please keep reading for information on this month’s happenings.
